The Pro-Ject Connect it Phono S 5P / MiniXLR (2023) is a dedicated phono interconnect cable connecting a Pro-Ject turntable's 5-pin DIN tonearm output to a miniXLR phono input on a preamplifier or phono stage. This is the standard (non-TB) version, designed for turntables with a conventional 5-pin DIN output rather than a Turntable Balanced (TB) output. The 2024 TB version is also available; see the related variation below.
The Connect it Phono S range uses an oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductor, which ensures clean signal transmission with minimal loss. Cable capacitance is kept exceptionally low at 100pF for the standard 1.23m length, which helps maintain the natural, open character of the phono signal. All connectors in the S-Line series feature gold-plated phosphor-bronze contacts, chosen for their excellent conductivity and long-term resistance to corrosion and oxidation.
This cable is semi-symmetrical in construction, meaning the shielding is connected at one end only. The blue-marked end should always be connected to the central grounding point or the receiving end (the phono stage or amplifier input) to ensure correct earthing. The flexible Thermoplastic Elastomer jacket allows easy routing in tight spaces behind equipment, while the Polyethylene dielectric keeps signal losses to a minimum.
The Connect it Phono S 5P / MiniXLR (2023) is supplied at a standard length of 1.23m and is manufactured and assembled in Europe.
